Transcript
00:00Sometimes when you need a little pick-me-up you could get him to sing Macho Man.
00:03Got buzz balls in there and poured in it.
00:06So when we're feeling crazy, the century men will come out.
00:08Just a nice little fedora action here.
00:30What's up y'all, I'm Peyton from Carver Commodore.
00:40This is our van, Dutch Vanderlin.
00:43We are on tour right now.
00:44It's like the end of the summer tour promoting our new record Carver and we're here in Chicago
00:50and we're very glad to be here, you know, let's check it out.
00:53So this is Phil in the passenger seat, this is Noah, he probably drives the most if we're
00:58being honest and then Phil is probably second and then I'm, you know, me and Clayton and
01:01David, we all kind of split the drives.
01:04But yeah, these are the two up front boys most of the time.
01:08We got anything flying up here?
01:10Let's see.
01:11This is cool stuff.
01:12We've got phone chargers.
01:14Remote to something.
01:15Remote to the radio that we've never used on anything.
01:17No.
01:18Electrical tape unopened.
01:19Uh-huh.
01:20These right here, we're out of them on this, but these are these flavored toothpicks that
01:27we all love to use all the time and it's like, these are like my zen.
01:31I'm addicted to these.
01:32We all are.
01:33I feel like it's simple.
01:34But middle of the night, you're driving, this is like one of the few things that will
01:38keep you up.
01:39It's pretty amazing.
01:40It's pretty great.
01:41What else we got?
01:42We got some incense.
01:44I tried to burn these in the van the other day, but I couldn't find a lot of them.
01:47Probably would have been a bad idea anyway.
01:49You got the camera?
01:50Let him get a shot of where the knife is before you go.
01:53Oh yeah.
01:54This is our protection right here.
01:55Can you see down here?
01:56Let's pull this out.
01:57Just in case.
01:58We keep it strapped.
01:59You know, keep it strapped.
02:00You never know.
02:01You never know.
02:02When you're going to need this.
02:03Yeah dude.
02:04But we know.
02:05We also got trash can.
02:06It's amazing.
02:07Trash.
02:08Playing cards for magic tricks mostly.
02:11Oh yeah, soy sauce.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Low sodium soy sauce.
02:15Why don't you talk about this baby?
02:17Yeah.
02:18So this is digestive gummies.
02:21So let me tell you about this.
02:23When you're on the road, things just don't work like they do at home.
02:26You're not relaxed.
02:28It's a mental thing.
02:29So sometimes you got to take these.
02:31And honestly, the last time I took these, I just felt horrible all day.
02:35I just felt bloated and I haven't taken them since.
02:38So I don't recommend these, but you know, whatever.
02:41What is the secret?
02:42The secret, I try to drink some dirty chai and then go browse in a store.
02:48That's the secret.
02:49Bookstores.
02:50Thrift stores.
02:51Something like that.
02:52Sweetwater.
02:53So yeah, driver has control of the aux cord at all times, you know.
02:56Sometimes we'll just raw dog it and not listen to anything.
02:59And we'll just talk.
03:00Yeah, in the past run, CarPlay wasn't working for like half the trip.
03:04At least for my old phone.
03:05Yeah, for those of us who have old phones with old lightning ports.
03:08Three hours of dead silence there.
03:11Honestly, it was pretty nice.
03:12Yeah, it was kind of nice.
03:13Sometimes you need a little bit of quiet.
03:15Peace and quiet.
03:16You walk into a venue and they're already playing music when you get there during load-in.
03:19And you sound check, then you play the show, listen to all the other bands.
03:22And it's just constant noise.
03:24So like having a van where you can be quiet for a minute is sometimes pretty nice.
03:29We do play games every now and then.
03:30Yeah, we play some games.
03:32What's the name of the game that we play?
03:33Draft Pits.
03:34Draft Pits.
03:35Categorie kind of game.
03:36So let's say like favorite fast food restaurant.
03:39And somehow someone goes first.
03:42Like I think we just like come up with a number and whoever gets closest.
03:46Yeah.
03:47They get to pick first.
03:48And you get like three options.
03:50And once that option's picked when you go around in the circle, no one else can pick it.
03:54So like if I pick Taco Bell first, no one else can pick Taco Bell.
03:57That's it.
03:58And you're picking top five or whatever.
03:59And by the end of it, you're all just kind of like grasping at straws because everybody's
04:03chosen all the good places or whatever.
04:04Yeah.
04:05So we'll play that every now and then.
04:06That's pretty fun.
04:07That's a good one.
04:08Got the Sheriff's Star up here.
04:09Yeah.
04:10We got our, this is probably my favorite smell as far as the trees go.
04:15The barber shop shaving cream.
04:18Yeah.
04:19We got the camera up there.
04:20That's like hardly ever used.
04:22We need to hardwire it in really badly.
04:25Oh, look who it is.
04:27It's Clayton and David.
04:29Hey.
04:30Hey everybody.
04:31Welcome to the back of the van.
04:32Yeah.
04:33This is where, this is where all the good stuff goes down.
04:35This is where all the sleeping happens and uh, yeah.
04:38We've all kind of got our spot.
04:40I feel like.
04:41Usually these two are up there, but this whole area, the front two seats and this one are kind
04:47of revolving most of the time.
04:48I'm usually here.
04:50Uh, David's usually there and Clayton's usually in the back.
04:53So we've all kind of got our own little area, which is important.
04:56When you're on the road, you need to feel like you can have at least one spot that's
05:00sacred in your own.
05:01Yeah.
05:02So we've all got it.
05:03Yeah.
05:04And normally after a show, it starts with a debrief where two, most of the time Peyton
05:08and Clayton are sitting in the front seat and I'm kind of like sticking my head in
05:12between and we all talk for a while.
05:15And then at some point when the conversation starts to lull, Clayton will sneak back to
05:20his, to his little bar bench area.
05:24It is.
05:25Alright.
05:26So this is my bench.
05:27Um, I got three pillows over here right now.
05:30I think this is his nose pillow.
05:31I don't know who this is.
05:33This is my wolf blanket.
05:35Sick.
05:36Um, yeah.
05:37We just try to like get rest as much as we can, but also like I have to work from the
05:42road.
05:43All of us do at a lot of points.
05:45So you're sitting here with a laptop most of the time.
05:48This is some merch that we haven't dropped off to ship out yet.
05:52Um, and then we got the inverter down here, which is very important.
05:56We have to, uh, have power for everything.
05:59So we've got our inverter and we've got like extension cords going back there.
06:03We've got this thing up here.
06:05And then, uh, we got our air vents up here, which is very important.
06:08I put some art on mine.
06:09And then we've got this right here is a very important part of the van.
06:13You know, people come to shows and take Polaroids or whatever, and then they give them to us,
06:18which is cool.
06:19So we always try to throw those up there.
06:20This is an old ticket from some show.
06:22Um, so we just have little, little memories, you know, pretty nice.
06:27Oh yeah.
06:28Yep.
06:29Yeah.
06:30So that's, that's it for my bench.
06:31So this is, this is where I stay most of the time.
06:33Uh, this is my little setup over here.
06:36So I've got my bag down here running.
06:39So the inverter, we have this power cable that runs all the way back.
06:42So I've got my computer plugged in and then my phone will charge there.
06:47Got a little Opryland bag in here.
06:50This guy we found at a free bin and he's just come with us everywhere.
06:54He was in like this free bin at a vintage store and I just fell in love with him.
06:59And his batteries were dead.
07:00We changed the batteries and I don't even know if he, let's see if he works.
07:04That's our gorilla.
07:05Let's see if you can, if you can hear him.
07:07Where's the button at?
07:08Is it in his hand?
07:09I don't know.
07:10He's your buddy.
07:11There's a switch somewhere too.
07:12Hey.
07:13Anyway, he normally, uh, I think it's right here.
07:16It's, anyway, at one point, if you, if the batteries worked in him, he would sing Macho Man.
07:23So sometimes when you needed a little pick me up, you could get him to sing Macho Man, but the batteries are dead again.
07:28So he lives down here.
07:29So he lives down here.
07:30Got a coffee cup.
07:32This is, this is the, this is how the, it normally goes when you sleep, when you're on your phone.
07:39Uh, what else?
07:40What else?
07:41Oh yeah.
07:42I've got a hoodie back here because the vent is broken.
07:44I've got it taped up right now because, um, even when you close this, it just blows cold air on you all the time.
07:50And so we're thankful that the air works.
07:52The air works, which is great.
07:53But it works too well when it comes out like you don't want it to.
07:56Uh huh.
07:57So I taped that up because it, it'll freeze you out.
07:59Um, that's kind of it for my section.
08:01Yeah.
08:02Clayton.
08:03Oh, this is my humble abode.
08:06It's very, uh, cozy back here.
08:09Uh, like Peyton said, when I have FOMO, I'll go up to the front and kind of talk for a little bit and then come back here to my spot.
08:15Um, we've got everyone's jackets hanging up right there.
08:19We've got, I've got all my stuff right here nice and organized as well as it can be.
08:24Got this computer tray that me and Peyton pass back and forth.
08:28So when we got to be work guys, we can do that.
08:31Um, I've got my Crocs under here.
08:35For pennies.
08:36It's an after show necessity to put the Crocs on.
08:40Comfort.
08:41Maximum comfort.
08:42And we've got the penny boards right here.
08:44In case we want to skate, we've used these like two times.
08:47And we've had them in here for two years.
08:50Um, got this little bin back here.
08:52This, now this right here.
08:54This is the money right here.
08:56These are alter egos.
08:59Oh.
09:00Sentryman.
09:01So when we're feeling crazy, the Sentryman will come out.
09:03Yeah.
09:04Just a nice little fedora action here.
09:05But it's got to be complete with the correct sunglasses.
09:09Yeah.
09:10So when we're feeling crazy, the Sentryman will come out.
09:13He's two thirds on his way to Sentryman.
09:15But it's actually not us.
09:16It's uh, it's our managers.
09:18And then, that's pretty much it.
09:23It's nice and comfortable and cozy back here.
09:26So, thanks for checking it out.
09:29Uh oh.
09:30Uh oh.
09:31This is uh, this is an important part too.
09:33I forgot to share.
09:34Uh, this is our voice changer.
09:37And then, we've got this bin.
09:40It's just all of our good stuff.
09:42You know.
09:43We've got buzz balls in there.
09:44Important.
09:45We've got a peach or no pineapple.
09:48Those are good.
09:49Those are good.
09:50A little stupid tool thing that's the most useless tool box of all time.
09:55Uh, this, we end up shooting a bunch of random little videos or music videos and stuff.
10:00I've used this so many times for that.
10:02It's usually not loud enough, but we never are prepared enough to bring anything else.
10:06Uh, glass cleaner.
10:08Didn't even know that was in here.
10:10Uh, yeah dude.
10:11We've got some, this is the hard wire kit for the camera, which we need to do.
10:16We got sunscreen.
10:18Sometimes we'll, we'll do a Listerine shot before a show.
10:22We won't swallow it, but like do that, swish it around.
10:26That'll wake you up.
10:27Get you going.
10:28Yeah, that and then a normal shot.
10:30That's crazy.
10:31That's a wild vibe.
10:32Crazy.
10:33How old is that ramen?
10:35I bet it's got a date on it.
10:37Oh, there's some more.
10:38That's good electrical tape.
10:39That's the good stuff.
10:40Uh, I don't know.
10:43It never goes out.
10:44Looks old.
10:45Does it have an expiration date?
10:46We've got, uh, some Chick-fil-A sauces in here.
10:50Didn't know those were here.
10:52I would have used those honestly.
10:53Those are probably old.
10:55Fabric.
10:56This stuff actually is great for the van.
10:58It like makes it smell a little better in here sometimes.
11:00Oh wow.
11:02And then, uh, we got some spicy ketchup.
11:06Necessity.
11:07This is Noah's tag from Beaver Island Music Festival in Portland.
11:11We went to Beaver Island, Michigan and, uh, the van Dutch took a ferry out to an island.
11:17It was awesome.
11:18And, uh, yeah, most of the rest of this stuff is kind of boring.
11:21Zesty sauce from Burger King and pour it in.
11:23Really just sauce.
11:24Meat sticks.
11:25Yeah, a lot of sauce.
11:26A lot of clothespins for some reason.
11:28And, yeah, that's that thing.
11:30All right, we're gonna go check out the back really quick.
11:32Before we do, I just wanted to point out our little ghost sticker here.
11:35He's been there for like four years.
11:37Old, old CC sticker?
11:38Yeah, old Carver sticker.
11:39We don't have a name for it, so, uh, if you got a name for the ghost that we should name it,
11:44I don't know, drop it in the comments, I guess.
11:46Let's check out the back.
11:47First off, you're gonna notice all of our great stickers here.
11:53Another old Carver sticker.
11:55This is a favorite of ours.
11:57Two, uh, I think you should leave stickers, which is great.
12:00We've got our camera to let everybody know that they are on camera.
12:03Uh, and then, this is important.
12:06You know, the family photo things, sticker that people have on our car.
12:09This is our family photo.
12:10And, uh, this is me, and this is Clayton.
12:14That's David.
12:15This is Clayton.
12:16This is Noah.
12:17And, this is Phil.
12:18So, let's see what we got back here.
12:25Alright, so this is, uh, this is where the magic actually happens.
12:29We got all of our bags back here.
12:30We got Noah's backpack.
12:32We got Noah's air mattress.
12:34Because, uh, every night we go to a hotel.
12:37And, we're so poor that we have to book a hotel room with two queen beds.
12:40And, Noah has to bring in an air mattress.
12:42So, we gotta sneak everybody in this time.
12:44So, uh, don't tell anybody.
12:46But, that's what we do.
12:47We got as many waters as we can possibly take from a venue as soon as we're done with the
12:52show.
12:53They're back here, and they're up front, and they're everywhere.
12:56Noah's got his aux snare back here.
12:58That's my, uh, jacket stuff.
13:01We got vinyl over here.
13:03We got an important part of the back.
13:06Uh, we got some blankets.
13:08But, you can, uh, you can get a shot of that.
13:12That's the crate.
13:13You know?
13:14Here's what the crate is.
13:16You play at a venue, and sometimes they don't want to give you any free drinks.
13:20Which, you know, whatever.
13:22But, we still gotta, you know, we still gotta have a little something to drink sometimes.
13:27So, we come out to the van, take a dip into the crate, and then we, you know, we're ready
13:31to play the show, and we have some fun.
13:33So, that's pretty much everything that's going on.
13:36Sometimes it leaks back here, which is great, because it gets all over your luggage and
13:40stuff.
13:41Mostly just your jackets.
13:42Yeah, mostly just my stuff, usually.
13:44And Noah's backpack has a USB on it.
13:46That's crazy.
13:47Did you know that?
13:48Yeah, that's a robot.
13:49Um, yeah.
13:50Oh, yeah.
13:51There's another camera here for security.
13:54We're a very secure band, you know, even though the stuff isn't hardwired.
13:58For a while, this was coming off, but now it's staying on.
14:01It's a little loose.
14:02That's nice.
14:03That's everything in the back.
14:05Show one last thing, and we'll be done.
14:07This right here, it's called the Snatch Lash.
14:10And you can see, we got a trailer here, and there's locks and everything, but sometimes
14:13those are easy to cut off and still get in.
14:16This just protects it.
14:18Protects the lock from anyone cutting it off and getting into your trailer.
14:21Because all of the important stuff is right there.
14:24And, uh, theft with touring artists is pretty rampant these days, so.
14:29Yeah.
14:30How long do we have one of those?
14:31We have two of them.
14:32We got two.
14:33This is the main one.
14:34If you can see which one we have to take on and off.
14:36Maybe that one is.
14:37It's nice in there.
14:38Broken in.
14:39Thanks for watching.
14:40We're the Century Men.
14:42This has been Digital Tour Bus.
14:44Also, we're Carver Commodore.
14:45And there's my favorites.
14:47Right here, we're the big one.
14:49Yep.
14:50So great, guys.
14:51Both the K 476R.
